That's simply not true. Did you believe somebody who told you that, or is that lie original with you?
For anyone who might doubt what I'm saying, just go to http://www.apple.com/ipod/ and click on the button to go to the Apple Store and click through to the iPod. You'll see that the adapter and several other "accessories" are included.
That is an especially salient question. Provocative, even.
